Chapter 8: calming down



Chapter 8: calming down

Darius POV

I rushed out from the hospital wing and ran towards the forest line. It didn't bother me that I ripped my clothes to shreds when I shifted, I just had to get away to calm myself down. I have never reacted in this way before. Sure I have in different situations but this was different and I felt so bad about it. She just wanted to help her to survive and get better. How could I react that way?

I was running as fast as my paws could take me. I felt twigs snap under my paws and I didn't care about the pain as they scratched them. My heart was beating faster and faster and I ran pushing myself. I dodged branches and jumped over rocks. I felt the wind in my fur.

My wolf is large and he has black fur. I let Xander take over while we run to calm down from the earlier situation. We ran for a while around our territory and ran to a place my mother had told me she went to when she lost control. My mother and father are no longer with us, they died three years ago in a fight with the Moonlit pack.

I came to a meadow with a small pond that was far, far into the woods. It was here my mother always went to. Not many in the pack knew about this place. I sat down and closed my eyes and inhaled deeply.

The smell that surrounded me was so calming. The only sound around me was from the water and the leaves dancing with the wind. Other than that there were no sounds at all. While I sat there trying to calm down as I thought to myself.

'When I saw her push the scalpel in her neck I thought I would lose her. I need to find out where she is from, what has happened to her and why, and what pack is she from. When I saved her way was she being attacked by the moonlit pack? Does she belong to the pack or not?’

I opened my eyes and looked over the lake and meadow. I see the sunshine that reflects on the water. When the sun rays touch the water surfaces it shines like diamonds. I breathed out and thought back on her.

'Her light blue eyes, her long dark blonde hair that reached all the way to the middle of her back, her small figure, and her sweet voice. I thought about her amazing scent that was a mixture of Rose's and sweet grapes.'

I closed my eyes again and the memory of the image popped up that is imprinted in my mind forever

Darius memory

I and a few of my pack members were out patrolling around the woods close by the moonlit pack to make sure they don't kill any humans or any other wolves when I heard a scream from far away but it disappeared right away. It was strange, but I ignored it as it disappeared right away. After I had ran a few meters more I could smell the most amazing scent in the wind. I followed the smell that caught my nose, I mind linked the other wolves that were with me to follow me. We ran for maybe ten minutes south of where we were. The closer we got the stronger the scent got.

When we reached the source I saw a girl on the ground and she was surrounded by at least fifteen other wolves. Her clothes were ripped off and one of the males that were standing over her had a sadistic smile on his face. She was bleeding from cuts and I could smell that someone had put his semen on or in her. My insides were burning. When I saw that this man was about to kick her we attacked the wolves. We fought for a while, but my eyes were deadlocked on that man that was standing over her before we attacked. When he saw us he shifted into his light brown wolf. His wolf was smaller than my wolf and I attacked him with my paws, scratching at him and biting him with my

teeth. I bit him on the neck and his front paw when he tried to defend himself by attacking me. The fight did not last long before we chased them off.

I shifted back to my human body and I walked over to the girl that was unconscious. I bent down and I picked her up carrying her bridal style.

I heard my wolf Xander scream in my mind ‘MATE’. She was so beautiful and I decided in that moment that I will protect her with my own life.

And the response from Xander was 'Of course, we will protect her, she is our mate and our light in life'.

I opened my eyes again and I could feel tears escaping my eyes. Right now I am glad that no one can see me, I was an alpha. I can’t show my pack members that I cried or that I am weak. Who will they turn to if they knew? But I will be strong for them and for her. Just thinking about her makes my anger slowly fade away. I looked up to the sky,

'This is for you Alea.' I thought out while I looked at the sky I took in a deep breath and I howled out with all the alpha power I had in me.
